Rocket Starts for Tiainen and Kenyon
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Maikel Homin pushed in his last 11,500 from middle position. Kai Tiainen was the only interested party, and he called in the hijack.
Maikel Homin: A♣8♣ 
Kai Tiainen: K♥K♦
The Q♦9♣10♥J♣ turn brought plenty of sweats, but the J♠ river bricked. Homin said his goodbyes as Tiainen continued chipping up at the start of Day 2.
Scott Kenyon was also at this table, and he was up over 40 big blinds since the start of play as he five-bet jammed his aces into the pocket kings of Maksim Petrov.
